GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance
must be properly grounded. Have the wall
outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING
METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its
own individual properly grounded electrical outlet
rated for 230 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only, and fused at
15 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off with
a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation,
cleaning,or removing a light bulb, turn the control
(Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or Freezer
Control, depending on the model)to OFF and
then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical
source. When you are finished,reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the
control (Thermostat, Refrigerator Control or
Freezer Control, depending on the model) to the
desired setting.
WARNING
• Repair or replace immediately all electric
service cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either the plug or connector end.
• When moving your refrigerator away from the
wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
• Keep fingers out of pinch point areas;
clearances between the doors and cabinet are
necessarily small. Be careful closing doors
when children are in the area.
• This refrigerator must be properly installed in
accordance with the Attention Installer
Instructions that were taped to the front of the
refrigerator.
• Don’t touch the lamp, in case of light on the long
time, Because it can be very hot.
• DO NOT refreeze frozen foods which have
thawed completely. The United States
Department of Agriculture in Home and Garden
Bulletin No. 69 says:
…You may safely refreeze frozen foods that
have thawed if they still contain ice crystals or if
they are still cold—below 4°C.
…Thawed ground meats, poultry or fish that
have any off-odor or off-color should not be
refrozen and should not be eaten. Thawed ice
cream should be discarded. If the odor or color
of any food is poor or questionable, get rid of it.
The food may be dangerous to eat.
Even partial thawing and refreezing reduces the
eating quality of foods, particularly fruits,
vegetables and prepared foods. The eating
quality of red meats is affected less than that of
many other foods. Use refrozen foods as soon
as possible to save as much of their quality as
you can.

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Door Alignment
Leveling
After installing, secure the product with the LEG
not to move left or right.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws—
one on the right and one on the left. If your
refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the
doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt
using the instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a
3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator
into its final position.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that
side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to
lower it. It may take several turns of the
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top
of the refrigerator takes some weight off the
leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the
legs.
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have
an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge,
to raise and lower them to align properly.
If the space between your doors is uneven,
follow the instructions below to align the doors
evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Owner’s
Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to
adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the
left to lower the height.
3. Open both doors again and check to make
sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the
refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling screws clockwise. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
4. Re-adjust if necessary.
5. Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely
designed with two fresh food doors. Either door
can be opened or closed independently of one
another. You may have to exert slight pressure
on doors to get them to close completely.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ENSURING PROPER AIR
CIRCULATION
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment
temperature as desired.
• Freezer control: –21°C to –13°C
When the setting is at a lower number, the
freezer compartment becomes colder. But the
refrigerator compartment becomes warmer
because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.
MULTI-FLOW
• Fridge control: 1°C to 8°C
The lower the number setting, the colder the
refrigerator compartment will become.
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must
flow between the refrigerator and freezer
sections. As shown in the illustration below, air
enters at top of freezer and circulates down.
From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of
refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top
vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where
it returns to freezer.

ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before making final adjustments. It is best to wait
24 hours before doing this. The mid-settings
indicated in the previous section should be
correct for normal household refrigerator usage.
The controls are set correctly when milk or juice
is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
The refrigerator control functions as the
thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator
and freezer sections). The higher the number
setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer control
adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the
refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower
temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer
compartment to make it colder.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the
refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the
refrigerator. Then wait 24 hours before checking
the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too
cold, then adjust the freezer control.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a
guide. Always remember to wait at least 24
hours between adjustments.
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight
and moisture-proof material unless otherwise
noted. This prevents food odor and taste transfer
throughout the refrigerator. For dated products,
check date code to ensure freshness.

USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
STORING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing
NOTE: For further information about preparing
food for freezing or food storage times, check a
freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large
quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food
into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours
(no more than 2 to 3 lbs of food per cubic foot of
freezer space). Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be
careful to leave enough room at the front so the
door can close tightly.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor
and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
also dry out frozen food.
Storage times will vary according to the quality
and type
of food, the type of packaging or wrap used
(airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage
temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package
are normal. This simply means that moisture in
the food and air inside the package have
condensed, creating ice crystals.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room
temperature for 30 minutes, then package and
freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves
energy.
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Non-polyethylene plastic containers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
w CAUTION : Do not keep beverage cans or
plastic food containers in the freezer
compartment. They may be break if they
freezer.

ABOUT THE AUTOMATIC ICEMAKER
WHEN YOU SHOULD SET THE
ICEMAKER POWER SWITCH TO
O (OFF)
w WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
• When the water supply will be shut off for
several hours.
• When the ice bucket is removed for more than a
minute or two.
• When the refrigerator will not be used for
several days.
A newly-installed refrigerator may take
12 to 24 hours to begin making ice.
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
DO NOT insert your hands in to the Icemaker
in operation. It may cause to injure you.
Automatic
Shut off Arm
• The icemaker water valve will buzz as the
icemaker fills with water. If the power switch is
in the I (on) position, it will buzz even if it has
not yet been hooked up to water. To stop the
buzzing, move the power switch to O (off).
NOTE: Keeping the power switch in the I (on)
position before the water line is connected can
damage the icemaker.
• You will hear the sound of cubes dropping into
the bin and water running in the pipes as the
icemaker refills.
Power Switch
The icemaker will produce 12 cubes per cycle—
approximately 90–130 cubes in a 24- hour period,
depending on freezer compartment temperature,
room temperature, number of door openings and
other operating conditions.
If the refrigerator is used before the water
connection is made to the icemaker, set the power
switch to O (off).
When the refrigerator has been connected to the
water supply, set the power switch to I (on).
The icemaker will fill with water when it cools to
freezing. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12
to 24 hours to begin making ice cubes.
Throw away the first few batches of ice to allow the
water line to clear.
Be sure nothing interferes with the sweep of the
Automatic Shut off Arm.
When the bin fills to the level of the Automatic Shut
off Arm, the icemaker will stop producing ice.
It is normal for several cubes to be stuck together.
If ice is not used frequently, old ice cubes will
become cloudy, taste stale, and shrink.
PREPARING FOR VACATION
Set the icemaker power switch to O (off) and
shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
If the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing, have a qualified servicer drain the water
supply system to prevent serious property
damage due to flooding from ruptured water lines
or connections.
29
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE
• Two 1/4″″ outer
diameter
compression nuts
and 2 ferrules
(sleeves) to connect
the copper tubing to the shutoff valve and the
refrigerator water valve.
• If your existing copper
water line has a flared
fitting at the end, you will
need an adapter (available
at plumbing supply stores)
to connect the water line to the refrigerator OR
you can cut off the flared fitting with a tube
cutter and then use a compression fitting.
• Shutoff valve to
connect to the cold
water line. The shutoff
valve should have a
water inlet with a
minimum inside
diameter of 5/32″ at the point of connection to
the COLD WATER LINE. Saddle-type shutoff
valves are included in many water supply kits.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type
valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This water line installation is not warranted by the
refrigerator or icemaker manufacturer. Follow
these instructions carefully to minimize the risk of
expensive water damage.
Water hammer (water banging in the pipes) in
house plumbing can cause damage to
refrigerator parts and lead to water leakage or
flooding. Call a qualified plumber to correct water
hammer before installing the water supply line to
the refrigerator.
To prevent burns and product damage, do not
hook up the water line to the hot water line.
If you use your refrigerator before connecting the
water line, make sure the icemaker power switch
is in the O (off) position.
Do not install the icemaker tubing in areas where
temperatures fall below freezing.
When using any electrical device (such as a
power drill) during installation, be sure the device
is double- insulated or grounded in a manner to
prevent the hazard of electric shock, or is batterypowered.
All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing code requirements.
NOTE: Wear eye protection.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Install the shutoff valve on the nearest frequently
used drinking water line.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
• Copper Tubing, 1/4″ outer
diameter to connect the
refrigerator to the water supply.
Be sure both ends of the tubing
are cut square.
To determine how much tubing you need:
measure the distance from the water valve on the
back of the refrigerator to the water supply pipe.
Then add 8 feet (2.4 m). Be sure there is
sufficient extra tubing (about 8 feet [2.4 m] coiled
into 3 turns of about 10″ [25 cm] diameter) to
allow the refrigerator to move out from the wall
after installation.
• A cold water supply. The water pressure must
be between 147-834 kPa on models without a
water filter and between 280-834 kPa on
models with a water filter.
• Power drill.
• 1/2″″ or adjustable
wrench.
• Straight- and
Phillips-blade
screwdriver.
1. SHUT OFF THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY
Turn on the nearest faucet to relieve the
pressure on the line.
2. CHOOSE THE VALVE LOCATION
Choose a location for the valve
that is easily accessible. It is best
to connect into the side of a
vertical water pipe. When it is
necessary to connect into a
horizontal water pipe, make the
connection to the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment
from the water pipe.
3. DRILL THE HOLE FOR THE VALVE
Drill a 1/4″ hole in the
water pipe (even if using
a self-piercing valve)
using a sharp bit. Remove
any burrs resulting from
drilling the hole in the
pipe. Take care not to allow water to drain into
the drill. Failure to drill a 1/4″ hole may result
in reduced ice production or smaller cubes.
